At the hearing, it was determined that Kearney looked up Epstein’s address on the internet and flew to Chicago. She rented a car and went to his home, and was first greeted by Epstein’s wife. Kearney spoke with her and even brought a gift, but Mrs. Epstein felt uncomfortable and called Cubs security and the police.

Kearney left the house to look for Epstein, and when she couldn’t find him returned and began calling out for him. Epstein then called the police, who arrested Kearney.

Epstein left the Red Sox in October to become President of Baseball Operations for the Chicago Cubs. Prior to his departure, police were called to keep watch of Epstein’s home due to stalking concerns, according to reports.

Kearney also attempted to contact Epstein several times in the past during his tenure in Boston.
